The US charge d’affaires to Lebanon was greeted with stones and chants of “Death to America” on Wednesday by local residents in the southern village of Mayfadoun as she was leaving the home of a local official. Some 200 people, including women and children, surrounded the convoy and began throwing stones as Michele Sison was leaving the house of Abdullah Bitar, a member of Nabatiyeh’s municipal council.
The crowd also shouted “Death to Israel,” and “We don’t want you in South Lebanon,” as extra Lebanese police converged on the site.
A security official told AFP that Sison’s car was hit by several stones as she was being evacuated from the area, but she emerged unharmed.
A Lebanese security official said the back windshield of one of the convoy’s vehicles sustained cracks after it was hit with stones. The vehicle broke down and had to be towed to a police barracks in Nabatiyeh, the official said.
